It wouldn't be black spot at all. Black spot looks like salt speckles (tiny), the appearance displays like ich but its black in color speckles. It does not form clumps of spots like that.
Although its very hard to determine from your picture or get a real clear view but it almost looks like deterioration of some sort in spots. Describe the spots in detail? Is it sores? Fuzzy? Does it just look like dark coloration? Does the spots grow from days on? Are you sure its not the Foxfish being stressed? Do you see these spots at night? How many days since you noticed these spots? Also do you notice any of the same coloration to the fins?

The discoloration is grey, not bumpy, not fuzzy, not sunken in, just discoloration. It has been a few days now since I notices the spots. Looks to be stable now, as in not expanding. Yes there are some on the fins, harder to see though.
The spots are constant, they are not coming and going like the normal color changing the foxface does.

I can't tell from the pictures but if it is a bacterial or fungal infection, garlic will help.
What you need to do is buy some Kayolic garlic extract. (not juice as juice is diluted with water or oil as it is messy. You find it at a health food stores but you have to look around. Put some flake in a jar lid and soak the flake with garlic extract and swish it in the tank. Feed as much as you can and as often as you can as the idea is to get as much garlic in the fish as possilble. Frozen food does not absorb the garlic well. Good luck

Just wondering where you purchased the fish. due to it being a recent purchase, could it be possible the fish was caught with cyanide?

Hey neptune9824, since your foxface had the same thing....where did you purchase your foxfish? We can see if there is a connection.
